Not real hacking!
Tl;dr:
- Open this file with a hex editor:
AppDataLocalLowRed Dot GamesCar Mechanic Simulator 2015profile#global
- Search for
moneyandxp. - Locate the int32 value of each property in little-endian.
- Convert your current XP and money to hex to make the search easier.
- Overwrite them with
6F FF FF FF. - ???
- You have 'hacked' the game.
It does not get easier than this.
Background
Savegame editing is perhaps the oldest (and most basic) variant of game hacking. One of the reasons I went into security (or got decent at reverse engineering file formats) was computer games.
I used to play the original version of Heroes of Might and Magic. I usually rushed to get a few units. Split them into arbitrary stacks (e.g. 2 archers in slot 1, 3 in slot 2 and so on), then looked in the savegame for those numbers and modified the count to FF. Voila, I had 255 of every unit.
This is exactly what we are going to do here too.
The Game
Over the thanksgiving weekend I got Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 for 2 dollars in the Steam sale. I played it for around 10 hours (that's 20 cents per hour which is quite the bargain :D). It's a good game but it has a lot of grinding1.
Savegame Location
First item is to locate the savegame which brings us to this Steam community thread. They are at:
AppDataLocalLowRed Dot GamesCar Mechanic Simulator 2015
Each profile# directory will contain a different profile.
Note the developer is claiming the file is encrypted try to hack'em :) good luck with decrypting. It's not encrypted. I am not trying to shit on the dev, it's a good game.
How Stats are Stored
When editing savegames, chances are numbers are saved in hex (or decimal). Convert them into hex and grep.
Starting money and XPCurrently we have $2000 (0x07D0) and 1 experience. Now we can grep for the money like this grep -arb $'x07xd0' but won't find anything. You need to remember endian-ness or you could just search for the word money:
Offset 631 is 0x277. Open the file with a hex editor such as HxD.
Global file in hex editorThis seems to be a serialized Unity file according to DisUnity. But we do not care about the format, we want to edit XP and money to unlock auctions.
We can see our XP and money as an int32 (aka 4 bytes) in little-endian (first byte is the LSB). Replace them with whatever you want (remember they are in hex). For example I am going to max out everything with FF FF FF FF.
Well that did not work out as expected:

OopsWhat did We do Wrong?
We assumed that a variable representing XP or money is going to be an unsigned int (well money is debatable as games usually use negative balance to indicate debt). But these are signed int32s.
Signed Int32 Representation
We already know how signed ints are stored. Most significant bit or msb (note the lowercase b and do not confuse it with most significant byte or MSB) is sign:
0: Number is positive. Rest of bits represent the number.1: Number is negative. Rest of bits represent two's complement of absolute value of number.
Two's complement is created simply by flipping all the bits and then adding by one. So FF FF FF FF is -1.
Very Money, Much Experience
To get the max signed int32 positive number we need to keep the first bit as 0 and set the rest to 1. Take the last byte (first byte to the left) and convert it to bits 1111 1111. Flip the first bit to the left (or msb) to get 0111 1111 or 7F. So max int32 is 7F FF FF FF.
You do not need to exit the game every time, go to the main menu between edits.
Much experience!
Integer Overflow
However, this is not a good number. If you earn one dollar or XP, int32 will overflow and you are left with min int32 number 80 00 00 00 (MSB: 1000 0000).

- I have other issues with the game. For example ordering parts is a pain because you have to do them one by one. But this is not a game review.[return]

Description
If you want to become a professional in this full-fledged auto mechanic simulator, you will have to learn how to repair and sell several hundred cars. Your initial task in CMS 2018 is gaining enough reputation of a master of all trades and become a virtual analogue of Scrooge McDuck. Your personal workshop is the main place where you are hanging out in the game. This is the place where your clients will come to ask you repair their cars or where you will work on your own projects – found or bought on Junkyard or Barfind. By the way, each story quests will offer you the list of customers and cars to choose from, an approximate repair budget, and the time limit. If the customer does not get the car repaired under the schedule, he or she will disappear from the list of regular clients and you will also get negative reviews and zero experience points.

About gaining a lot of reputation or experience points. Each client that you will give you an order for car repairs will eventually leave the workshop. He or she may pay money for your work if they are satisfied, but also leave a review about the services – this is how you earn the reputation points. If you have finished the auto project until the time schedule, and also have correctly replaced all details, more people will know about your Workshop, and it means that the number of clients and orders you will start getting. If you decline more orders than completing, prepare to lose clients once again. Act smart and balance story quests with side orders. Keep in mind that becoming a pro in Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 will be easier of you start fulfilling the individual, side quests. For these tasks, you can additional funds and reputation/experience points. For example, if you successfully examine and repair the car in a mini-quest apart from the main story quests, you will earn 10 reputation points and get $ 10,000. The amount of bonuses will increase along with you climbing the career ladder in CMS 2018.
